FARM NOTES.

COVERING THE SEED.-My plan is
to always cover seed Of all kinds,
whether large or small; OF course very
fine seed needs only light covering,
and the soil should be very fine, yet L
always considered that 1 secured bet
ter plants by marking out q shallow
furrow and sowing the seed In 1t and
then covering lightly. Coarse, heavy
seed need and require deeper covering
than fine, light seed. While no rule
can be given that under all circum-
stances and conditions may he consld-
cred the best, yet generally you can be
safe If you Will regulate the depth OF
planting and covering by the size OF
the seed. For fine seed like celery
shallow mark is made and the seed
sprinkled in it as evenly as possible,
and then the soil sprinkled over the
seed and lightly pressed down. When
seed are planted very near the surface,
as a rule, the surest plan to secure !;
good termination is to press the SOIL
down upon the seed after covering,
and especially if the soil is warm and
Inclined to dry out. A certain de-
gree of moisture and contact with the
soil is essential TO secure good ger
mination, and find that these condl-
tions can be best secured by taxing
pains TO cover lightly. Generally early
planted seeds should be covered lighter
than If the same seeds were planted
three or four weeks later, after the soil
becomes warmer and often drler; heat
is almost as essential as moisture-that
is, to a certain extent, and If planted
too deep when the soil is wet and cold
they will either lie there until the soil
Is sufficiently warm TO induce germina-
ton or they will rot. L never could see
any good economy in having the seed
lie IN The ground under unfayorable
and failing to germinate,
even though they do fipally. l never
considered that the plants were as
vigorous as If an earlier germination
had been secured. For this reason 1
ind il the safest and best to make all
the conditions as favorable for ger
as possible.

YIELD OF GRAPES FROM AN ACRE.
AN acre of vines, in.rows SIX feet one
way and eight the other. will give In
round numbers 900 vines per acre. In
three years they Will average enough
over two pounds per vine to yield a
ton of fruit per acre, and when in full
bearing may be kept at a distance
apart, to an average crop OF ten pounds
per vine. This IS 900 pounds, or four
pound, for which grapes may be pro-
htably bought for making into wine,
this would give $50 per acre; or far
more, after deducting expenses of
management and cultivation, than can
be made from ordinary farm crops.
